NCCI: Design model for non-bearing column splices SN023a-EN-EU

This NCCI provides rules for verifying the adequacy of a "non-bearing column splice" for a column in "simple construction". It also provides rules for the determination of the tensile tying resistance of the splice for structural integrity. The rules may be used to evaluate the overall resistance of the splice, for all the possible modes of failure, based on the rules in EN 1993-1-8 for determining the resistances of individual components in a connection.

General
A non-bearing column splice is a splice where the forces are transferred through the cover plates and bolts and not through any bearing between the ends of the column. Typical nonbearing column splices are shown in Figure 1.1. Such splices are used where full continuity of stiffness is not required. Details of the frame configuration and splice positions for such splices are given in SN025. Guidance on the initial sizing of non-bearing splices is given in SN024. The design model for these splices is explained below.

Design model
The design model can be adopted for non-bearing column splices of all the types shown in Figure 1.1. However, for brevity, the detailed procedure is demonstrated in this NCCI only for a non-bearing column splice with external flange cover plates and two web cover plates (i.e. on both sides of column web), as shown in Figure 1.1(d). The design model assumes that bending moment and part of the axial force is resisted by the flange cover plates. Shear force and part of the axial force is resisted by the web cover plates. As an alternative to this assumption, it can be assumed that bending moment and axial force is resisted by the flange cover plates, and the web cover plates resist the shear force only, but that procedure is not shown here. It is assumed that the details of the bolt layouts are such that there is no possibility of local buckling of the cover plates between the fasteners and hence this NCCI only considers resistances of cross-sections.
Opinions vary about the type of bolts to be used for non-bearing column splices. If splices are placed in accordance with section 3 of SN025, then non-preloaded bolts in category A connection may be used. Where slip is unacceptable, then pre-loaded bolts in Category B connection (Slip-resistant at serviceability limit state) or a Category C connection (Slipresistant at ultimate limit state) should be used. For maximum design compression force in the flange cover plates and maximum compression in the web cover plates (see Figure 2.1): It is assumed that all the beams are subjected to permanent and variable actions in combination.

Flange cover plate
The design axial resistance of the flange cover plate should be checked against design axial force (both in compression and in tension): NEd,fp,c NRd,fp,c NEd,fp,t NRd,fp,t (1) (2) (For compression in flange cover plate) (For tension in flange cover plate)
The maximum compressive design force on the flange cover plate (NEd,fp,c) is calculated from:
N Ed,fp,c =
Af,uc M Ed + (N Ed,G + N Ed,Q ) A huc uc
The maximum tensile design force on the flange cover plate (NEd,fp,t) is calculated from:
N Ed, fp, t = Af, uc M Ed N Ed, G A huc uc
where: MEd is nominal design moment (due to permanent and variable actions) in the upper column, i.e. at the floor level immediately below the splice (see SN005). Page 7
Note: If NEd,fp,t is less than zero, then there is no tensile force on the flange cover plate and check (2) above is not required. The design resistance of the flange cover plate in compression (NRd,fp,c) is calculated from 6.2.4(2) of EN1993-1-1. The design resistance of the flange cover plate in tension (NRd,fp,t) is calculated from 6.2.3(2) of EN1993-1-1.

Flange cover plate bolt group
The design resistance of the flange cover plate bolt group should be checked against the maximum design axial force (i.e. compressive) on the flange cover plate: NEd,fp,c VRd,fp Additionally, for Catgory B bolts, the design serviceability force should not exceed the design slip resistance i.e. NEd,fp,c,,ser VRd,fp,ser The design resistance of the bolt group is given as follows: For Category A bolts: Bearing type ( 3.4.1(1) (a) of EN1993-1-8) VRd,fp where: nfp Fb,Rd is the number of bolts between one flange cover plate and upper column is the design bearing resistance of a single bolt on the flange cover plate, given in Table 3.4 of EN1993-1-8 as:
Fb,Rd = k1 b f u,p d t fp
min ( Fb,Rd ; nfpFv,Rd)
M2

is the design shear resistance of a single bolt, given in Table 3.4 of EN1993-1-8. However, a reduction factor, p should be applied to Fv,Rd if the packing thickness, tpa, is greater than one third of the nominal diameter of the bolt, d (see 3.6.1(12) of EN1993-1-8). The value of Fv,Rd is thus given by: Fv,Rd =
p v f ub As M2

nfp, Fb,Rd and Fv,Rd are as defined above Fs,Rd,ser is the design slip resistance per single friction surface of a single preloaded Class 8.8 or 10.9 bolt at the serviceability limit state, given in 3.9.1 of EN1993-1-8 as:

For the ultimate limit state: M3 = 1,25 (Table 2.1 of EN-1993-1-8) Page 9

Web cover plate
In normal circumstances, the horizontal shear force VEd (the force arising from the moment gradient and not due to wind forces) is resisted by the web cover plates. However, VEd is usually small for columns in Simple Construction (see SN020) and therefore no specific check is presented in this NCCI. Neglecting VEd, the design axial resistance of the web cover plate should simply be checked against the compressive design force: NEd,wp NRd,wp,c The compressive design force on one web cover plate (NEd,wp) is calculated from:
N Ed, wp = N Ed Aw,uc 2 Auc
The design resistance of one web cover plate in compression (NRd,wp,c) is calculated from 6.2.4(2) of EN1993-1-1.
N Rd, wp,c = Awp f y,p
M0
If the cross-section resistance of the web cover plate does need to be checked for combined axial and shear force then reference should be made to 6.2.1 (5) of EN1993-1-8.

Web cover plate bolt group
Where the shear force VEd is neglected (see section 6), the design resistance of the web cover plate bolt group should be checked against the compressive design force on the web cover plate (NEd,wp, given in section 6 above): NEd,wp VRd,wp Additionally for category B bolts, the design force at the serviceability limit state should not exceed the design slip resistance i.e. NEd,wp,ser VRd,wp,ser The design resistance of the bolt group is given as follows: Category A bolts: Bearing type ( 3.4.1(1) (a) of EN1993-1-8) VRd,wp = min ( Fb, Rd ; nwpFv,Rd) where: nwp is the number of bolts connecting the web cover plate and upper column Page 10
Fb,Rd
is the design bearing resistance of a single bolt on one web cover plate, given in Table 3.4 of EN1993-1-8 as:
Fb,Rd = k1 b f u,p d t wp
M2
where, for this configuration: b =

Fs,Rd,ser

M3,ser

For the serviceability limit state, M3,ser = 1,1 (Table 2.1 of EN-1993-1-8)
Category C bolts: Slip resistant at ultimate limit state ( 3.4.1(1)(c) of EN1993-1-8) VRd,wp where: nwp and Fb,Rd are as given above Fs,Rd is given in section 5 = min ( Fb, Rd ; nwpFs,Rd)

Column web bolt group
The design resistance of the upper column web bolt group should be checked against the design axial force on the column web:
N Ed, w VRd, w
Additionally for category B bolts, the design serviceability force should not exceed the design slip resistance i.e. NEd,w,ser VRd,w,ser The compressive design force on the upper column web (NEd,w) is calculated from:
N Ed, w = N Ed Aw,uc Auc
The design resistance of the bolt group is given as follows:

Category A bolts: Bearing type ( 3.4.1(1)(a) of EN1993-1-8) VRd,w = min ( Fb,Rd ; 2nwpFv,Rd) where: nwp Fb,Rd is the number of bolts connecting the web cover plate and upper column is the design bearing resistance of a single bolt on the column web, given in Table 3.4 of EN1993-1-8 as:

Structural integrity (under tying force)
EN1993-1-8 does not give any guidance on tying resistance of connections. However, because large strains and large deformations are associated with this failure mode, it is recommended that ultimate tensile strengths (fu) can be used for calculating the tying resistance and the partial factor for tying M,u can be taken as 1,1. Conservatively it can be assumed that the tying force at the column splice is resisted by the flange cover plates only. The design axial resistance of the column splice (in tension) should be checked against the design tying force on the column: NEd,u NRd,u where:
N Rd, u = 2 N Rd, u,fp
0 ,9 Afp,net f u,p N Rd,u,fp = min ; nfp Fv,Rd,u ; nfp Fb,Rd,u M,u
From Table 3.4 in EN1993-1-8:
Fv,Rd,u = Fv,Rd =
v f ub As M,u
and
Fb,Rd,u = Fb,Rd =
k1 b f u,p d tfp

10. Limits of application

Bolts in normal holes: Non-preloaded, class 4.6 to 10.9 Preloaded, class 8.8 or 10.9 To avoid local buckling of the cover plates, the distance between the fasteners must be equal to or less than 9t (see Note 2, to Table 3.3 in EN1993-1-8).
